What stands out most about the Rocket Star is its incredibly high boost. After a full grounded charge is loosed, the vehicle will be shot forward at a speed above 50km/h. Aside from its single incredibly high statistic, however, most of its attributes are below average. Its turning is noticeably poor. Aside from that, it is the third-worst glider in terms of flight distance, and second-worst in terms of flight height. Even its top speed is a mere 15.52 km/h, when not coasting off its immense boosting capability, which is by far the lowest in the entire game. In addition, its various combat statistics are considered to be relatively low. Despite its massive boosting capability, it completely lacks the ability to charge while gliding, and does not get any boost from a grounded charge unless it is charged to the maximum. | What stands out most about the Rocket Star is its incredibly high boost.

Every attempt to boost has an inherent risk relying on whether or not the full charge can be built up in sufficient time. In [[City Trial]], with its basic stats, it does poorly in almost any [[Stadium]]. However, if the rider has enough [[patch|patches]] to make up for its weaknesses, it can be among the most formidable in [[Drag Race]], [[Single Race]], or various other Stadiums. Charge patches arguably help the most, as they allow its massive boost to be unleashed more quickly and thus more often. | ||

The Rocket Star appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', ridden by one of the [[Air Riders]] in [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part I]] and [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II|Part II]]. [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] rides it while battling the flail-wielding Air Rider, but is forced to ditch the Rocket Star when it runs out of fuel and then explodes. He does not end up riding one in [[Fright to the Finish]]. | The Rocket Star appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', ridden by one of the [[Air Riders]] in [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part I]] and [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II|Part II]].
